I’ve really only put it on some burgers, but would like to see what others like it with :D
I’d personally say nothing since I just do not like it at all.
I recommend putting a slice or multiple slices of American cheese on a hot bowl of Top Ramen, Chicken flavor. Cheesy ramen is pretty good
What goes good with American Cheese?

“American cheese” usually means a processed sliced cheese made from melted cheese curds. It’s most often found in cheeseburgers, especially fast-food-style cheeseburgers.
Related cheeses include Midwestern brick cheese which is used in Detroit-style pizza, which is a whole lot tastier than any fast-food cheeseburger.
American cheese is just normal, cheddar style cheese but with the addition of some sodium citrate.
Sodium citrate is a fun little food chemical that give the cheese a slight citrus bite, but more importantly acts as an emulsifier. It keeps the oil and water inside the cheese bonded together. This means the cheese melts and then never becomes greasy.
You can abuse this. You can make a super creamy cheese sauce for a higher brow mac and cheese by using some shredded cheese, a couple slices of American, and a few splashes of the pasta water.
This person emulsifies.
American cheese, like sliced bread, is an amazing achievement of food science. And then people shit on it because they don’t understand it’s purpose.
Same thing for tomato ketchup.

Okay so this thread is beginning to freak me out now.
Don’t knock it until you try it
Wrap a hotdog in a slice of it
Is this a Canadian thing? I didn’t know about this until I dated a Canadian girl. Not for me, but she swore by it.
Whoa.
Look up whistle-dogs.
I don’t care if I just eat it plain. Cheese is cheese!
White bread, mildly flavored meats, mild soups.
Our “cheese” has a very mild flavor, overall, but melts thoroughly and very quickly, which is mainly what we use it for. This is why you find it on things like grilled cheese and cheeseburgers, but if you see a slice cold it’s a little extra sad, since you’re missing out on the one thing it’s actually good at.
Statins.

My wife just made a bagel, egg, bacon and American cheese sammich, pretty damn tasty

The cafe at NAIT does a respectable BELT plate.
Use it for a grilled cheese sandwich. Or just about any kind of sandwich.
for the real processed stuff that comes individually wrapped, any place you need an instant melt cheese-turns-into-a-sauce sort of thing
Mix it into scrambled eggs.
If you have given up on life for the day and just need some Kraft Dinner while you watch your stories, melt a couple slices in.
It’s recommend that you do the eggs a couple times a week and the KD a couple times a quarter.
It’s excellent for making mac n cheese. It contains enough emulsifiers for far more cheese than just that slice, so you can add what cheese you actually want and still have it be silky smooth.
